Death On High (The Lakeland Murders) - Plot & Excerpts
It was how things got missed, how mistakes were made. Mind you, most of her case load was dull, and that was partly her own fault. Because she was so good with numbers and data she got everything that involved information rather than people, which meant fraud, and lots of it. At present she was trying to track down what had happened to a few hundred grands’ worth of a used car dealer’s customer’s cars, not to mention a big pile of his bank’s money. She was not enjoying the process. It felt like being an accountant, but without the excitement. Jane kept thinking back over the interview with Lillian Hill. She’d checked her notes twice, and at no point did Lillian say that she knew Vicky, or Tony Harrison come to that. They hadn’t asked the question, Jane was sure of it, but that didn’t matter. Why wouldn’t Lillian have simply volunteered the information? The options, Jane thought, were binary. Either Lillian really didn’t know Vicky, or she did, and was deliberately withholding the information.
